UPC / EAN Options
The section defines options available for UPC-A and UPC-E codes.
Transmit UPC-A Check Digit
When enabled, UPC-A symbol data is transmitted with the check
digit. Enabled is the default.
Transmit UPC-E Check Digit
When enabled, UPC-E symbol data is transmitted with the check
digit. Enabled is the default.
Convert UPC-E to UPC-A
When enabled, this option converts UPC-E (zero suppressed)
decoded data to a UPC-A format before transmission. After
conversion, the output data follows UPC format and follows UPC-A
programming selections (e.g., preamble, check digit). Disabled is
the default.
Decode UPC / EAN Supplemental
The options for decoding UPC/EAN supplemental digits are:
•
Enabled – supplemental digits are decoded (2 or 5 according to
specific code format conventions, e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2,
EAN 8+2). Only symbols with supplemental digits are decoded.
•
Disabled – supplemental digits are ignored even if present.
Disabled is the default.
•
Autodiscriminate – codes with and without supplemental digits
are decoded.
To minimize the risk of invalid data transmission, we recommend
that you select whether to read or ignore supplemental characters.
